Quick Start

SYNCRO Recording

Syncro recording allows the FS-5 to mimic camcorder operations by monitoring the state of the camcorder’s tape recorder controls.

Syncro: For Camcorders Without External Trigger Control

Syncro mode should only be used with older camcorders that do not have external trigger controls. Check the latest camera compatibility matrix on the Focus website.

1.Verify that the FS-5 is in Stop mode.

2.From the FS-5 Home menu, press the Right soft button once and the OPERATION menu appears:

4.Use the Down soft button to select SYNCRO.

5.Press the Scroll Wheel Select key. The Operations menu appears.

6.Press the Left soft button twice to return to the Home menu.

The Home menu returns and a Pause indicator appears in the upper left-hand corner. Next to it is a Y indicating that FS-5 is following the state of the camcorder’s tape controls, i.e. record when the camcorder records and pause when it pauses.
